Family-friendly holiday rentals in Woodstock

We loved staying here. The weather was a hot mess over our stay and the plunge pool was a dream (it's shaded all day) and there is great AC in the bedroom. The photos don't do the balcony justice – a neat little place to eat dinner each night. The apartment is a laughably short walk from supermarkets, Vida and Prashad's (vegetarian Indian food 10/10), super safe, well-supplied kitchen. Alleyne was very welcoming and kind enough to provide us with milk, bread and fruit on arrival – a nice touch when you're staying for a few days. In a few words: homey and a bit like staying with family (in a good way).

What a wonderful time we had in Alex’s beautiful Higgovale House with its special atmosphere. A home from home we felt immediately at ease. The tropical gardens give the feeling of being in the midst of the jungle - despite being only minutes from the lively Kloof Street with its many restaurants and coffee shops (wine bar/coffee shop/deli Tamboerswinkel deserves a special mention). We felt very safe at night and enjoyed being able to access Cape Town‘s sights quickly. A highlight was our hike to Lions Head - again only a stone throw away from the house. Alex’s great communication throughout our stay was not surprising, given his friendly welcome and advice and whilst we didn’t stay long enough to get to know her, housekeeper Barbara also seemed very friendly and attentive. We will be back!

Beautiful home and a great space for a family or small group. Located just down the road from botanical gardens in a gorgeous neighborhood. Kitchen had everything we needed. Our group included a couple of small kids so we appreciated that there were plenty of at-home activities when we were not out and about in Cape Town (pool, hot tub, playground, smart TV, books). Wish we could’ve stayed longer — hope to come again!

The location for the Tree House is simply fab!!! Views of the mountain from the house and quite centrally located to move around near hout bay, and even V&A was not too far! We’d go back in a heartbeat!

Fantastic experience! The place was spotless, stylish, and exactly as described. Super safe and in a great location. Highly recommend.

When the title says « Bohemian », that’s definitely accurate. We came to Observatory to try out a different neighbourhood, and the apartment decoration is definitely not what we’re used to, but is a welcoming change from the bland Cape Town center tower apartments. Note that the building is shared with Elna, and the common entrance is not noise-isolated from the living room and kitchen, but that didn’t bother us too much. Elna has been a very nice host. Would recommend.

We were fortunate to have booked Glen Villa, as it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. Mary-Louise greeted us with a warm smile, took us on a tour of the villa, and provided us with detailed information about everything it had to offer. The view was breathtaking and simply amazing, as advertised. The villa was spacious and ample, and it was cleaned every day. We were also offered a convenient laundry service on-demand. We want to express our deepest gratitude to Mary-Louise for making our stay so enjoyable. We will definitely be returning to Glen Villa in the future.

We had an amazing time at Jochen's House in Cape Town! This was our second visit, and once again, everything was perfect. We especially enjoyed the stunning rooftop view and the relaxing jacuzzi. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful stay!

This house is in a great location and has a really central city feel. We really enjoyed our stay here. The house has all essentials available and there is a lovely cafe across the road which does good breakfasts as well as other restaurants a few minutes walk away. It is well located in central Cape Town making all tourist attractions easily accessible. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. We were very grateful for this as we locked ourselves out and within twenty minutes someone was able to open the house up and let us in again! Can really recommend the house to anyone who wants to get a feel for more central Cape Town.

Admittedly - the photos in the listing look too nice to be true, but if you are in the apartment, then everything is even better !!! This incredibly breathtaking view of Table Mountain and the bay - you don't really want to leave the apartment again. But that would also be a shame, because the close to the beach invites you to extensive walks and various restaurants and bars are within walking distance. The apartment itself is functional, smart and nicely furnished. Everything is very clean. The quality of the mattresses ensures a good night's sleep after intensive vacation days. The rental car can be safely parked on the premises. In short, I was there for four days and would have loved to spend a few days, but unfortunately the holiday was over. What a great end to the vacation! Thank you Liz !!!

We had a wonderful stay at Philip's place. The house is very spacious and the location is great. It was easy to communicate with Philip and he was very flexible. We stayed for a bit over a week at the beginning of our South Africa trip, and booked again for our last night as we liked the place so much.

Daleen's cottage is an absolute gem! Loved it!

We have just had a month's stay here and could not have been happier with everything - host, accommodation and location. The accommodation was spacious and extremely comfortable and we really felt at home. Spencer is an amazing host - he is on things straight away and is super friendly. The location was excellent - close to Constantia Village with shops and supermarkets and a short walk/drive to the wine farm Uitsig with its many restaurants which have lovely views and a really pretty rose garden. There is also a river walk a short way down the road from Spencer's house ( right turn past the horses) that is very pretty. We loved our long stay here and can highly recommend it to locals and visitors to Cape Town. Ticks all the boxes

amazing place that allows easy access to most tourist spots in Cape Town whether city, camps bay, muizenberg, Simonstown and boulders. place is beautiful and has such a nice feeling for two families to spread out. Debbie was super responsive, checking in and out was more than accommodating for our needs. Highly recommend to all. Fantastic stay

This beautiful home, this slice of paradise, in the middle of a woodland-based suburban area where safety is something that is next to godliness. Staying at Taryn's little cozy house was an incredible experience for my wife and I. The fireplace, the crockery, the appliances, the massive bathtub, the feeling of home, the color-coordinated book nook, I could go on forever. This will definitely be an area that we will visit again, and this accommodation is by far the best that we've stayed in throughout the world for its elegance, for its class, for its personal touch, and for its modern simplicity. We cannot stress to you enough that our experience at this beautiful gem located in Cape Town in the gardens was something that we will never forget. Cozy blankets, warm fires, delicious food, and great company. The things that make a home.

We loved staying at Adri and Deon's place and left feeling refreshed and rested. The cottage is private, clean, well-equipped and you can access beautiful mountain trails from your front door. Thanks to the location and silence we slept better than we did in years. Lovely as all the amenities and the location is, the best thing about the place are the hosts. Deon and Adri are incredibly gracious, providing freshly ground coffee, muesli, home-baked bread and altogether good vibes. It felt like visiting really cool family who leave you alone to rest and enjoy the peace and quiet. We will most definitely be back.

We had a very comfortable stay. The house is spacious and we particularly valued the secure off street parking which fitted our overlanding vehicle. Stewart and Denise are lovely hosts and very quick to respond to any requests.

Perfect location for city vibes. The patio with Mountain View was to die for and hosted memorable family reunion braais. Kitchen had everything we needed. My sons took a quick uber to table mountain early for a sunrise hike.. while we did the cableway. Washer and dryer was great to have. We felt right at home. Secure. Two parking bays. We ubered all over the place, Uber was always quick to respond. We walked Bree and Kloof street for shopping; and had lunch at “Our Local” which was recommended by Johan and we second this emotion! The food was incredible. No complaints. Beds comfy with electric blankets if needed. Close to everything. Wonderful stay. Debbie who came in to clean on the last day was a gem. Thank you for everything!

Very nice place, spacious. Appreciated the rooftop pool and views. Generally pretty well located, but on a busy street.

I had the most delightful stay! The family were all lovely, including Blue🐶. Mark gave me an excellent tour of the place. He, Cathy and Jarad have me such a warm welcome . The place was peaceful and felt just like home. I was very comfortable and slept well!! I’d been travelling for a while and this was the perfect spot to spent a week recouping and working remotely. I will definitely be back! Thank you all so much.✨

The condo was just like the pictures. Spacious and well stocked. The location was good, easy walk to the waterfront and felt very safe. Glad we stayed here.

Such a lovely place to stay - you don’t need anything more. Fantastic host as well. Will definitely recommend.

Michelle is a superb host. I felt very lucky to have stayed at the Cottage. Michelle’s clear and easy communications took the stress out of a rushed trip. It’s lovely to have such a welcome and introduction to all the cottage’s facilities( and there are many) The place is immaculate and so very comfortable, one lacks nothing that one would have either at home or travelling. But it’s how gorgeous it all is, that has me struggling to describe it. The garden is fabulous, from the avocado pear tree at the door, to the indigenous plants, from the huge mature trees, to the view from the garden over the mountains and the edge of the ocean. Home made fudge, iced lemon made from lemons from the tree waited for me. Silence at night, no sound at all except the owl at times. I had perfect peace whilst knowing Michelle was at hand if I needed anything. I can’t wait to return and can see that planning future trips will definitely centre round whether the cottage is available.

we had a great stay, and we had such helpful communication from Glenn. the location is absolutely fantastic and the apartment is a great size with great amenities. We felt so comfortable we could have stayed much longer
